      Ring’s controversial, AI-powered “Search Party” feature isn’t intended to always be limited only to dogs, the company’s founder, Jamie Siminoff, told Ring employees in an internal email obtained by 404 Media. 

      In October, Ring launched Search Party, an on-by-default feature that links together Ring cameras in a neighborhood and uses AI to search for specific lost dogs, essentially creating a networked, automated surveillance system. The feature got some attention at the time, but [faced extreme backlash](https://www.404media.co/with-ring-american-consumers-built-a-surveillance-dragnet/) after Ring and Siminoff promoted Search Party during a Super Bowl ad. 404 Media obtained an email that Siminoff sent to all Ring employees in early October, soon after the feature’s launch, which said the feature was introduced “first for finding dogs,” but that it or features like it would be expanded to “zero out crime in neighborhoods.”

      404 Media also obtained two earlier emails Siminoff sent to all Ring employees, about how Ring could have potentially been used to help find Charlie Kirk’s killer, and about the company’s “Community Requests” feature. Ring [launched that feature in September](https://blog.ring.com/about-ring/ring-launches-community-requests-a-new-way-to-help-your-community/?ref=404media.co) and it allows police to ask Ring camera owners for footage about a specific incident. Community Requests is a feature that leverages the company’s partnership with the police tech company Axon. Ring had a [similar planned partnership](https://blog.ring.com/about-ring/ring-and-flock-cancel-partnership/?ref=404media.co) with [surveillance company Flock](https://www.404media.co/ice-taps-into-nationwide-ai-enabled-camera-network-data-shows/), but the two companies canceled that partnership following widespread criticism.

      Please cancel your RING subscription if you don’t want the government to use your camera and money for their fascist agenda.

      Yeah, I saw the superbowl commercial and was like, NOPE. If they do that then I’m removing mine.

      WOW NO WAY, its almost like they’re already doing that or something

      They already have an open search system for the police in the US, no warrent needed.

      Highly recommend people use Eufy. You can set it up so everything is local other than the relay that lets you connect to it from your phone.

      NO SHIT.

      STOP USING RING.

      Get rid of it and consider using a non-big tech, localized camera/doorbell. There is no real value add in providing Amazon/Google/Palantir/The US Government with your data.

      We really don’t hate billionaires enough. Or the lackeys who work to enrich them.

      Ring had to know that a mesh network of all their cameras would eventually be the most valuable asset their business holds

      I mean the CEO has openly said he wants to end crime through surveillance openly. It is his main belief and always been his goal to create a surveillance state.

      I can’t wait until we’re all doing calisthenics in front of our TV

      Oh look, more news sources about the shit anyone with half a brain already saw coming. Fucking hell with all this bullshit lately.

      didnt MAGA voters, used to be the type who were against Government surveillance, and censorship? and yet they seem happy with this kind of thing, and Colbert being axed / told who he have on his show?

      Why are they so bad at being against the things they have for many years clearly said they are against?

      Plot twist, home robbery begins to figure out people with Ring feel safe and that all they need to walk past a camera into an unguarded home is a flip’n ski mask.

      These things are and only have been, passive detterents. For anyone who means to break into a home, a doorbell camera is god damn comedy.

      Zero out crime. lol. sure.

    28. m3kw on

      Just announce they are gonna keep 24-7 footage and have an api to search anyone to the highest bidder

      Some company could make an absolute killing if they released a very simple, boxed, NVR with WiFi cameras that is plug and play, has app support and bypasses cloud servers entirely.

      The reason so many people bought into ring was the easy or plug and play security.

      Yeah, when they put shit on my plate I didn’t have to wait until they told me they wanted me to eat it before I knew that was their plan

    35. HippoFluid1378 on

      Ya, no shit and I bet this leak was intentions too. Frog in pot after all. What a nice warm bathtub…

      Not only are they spying on you; they are making you pay a monthly fee for the privilege.

    42. pasta2666 on

      I live outside the city and have three Ring cameras outside. They’re for our protection, or I thought they were.☹️

    43. kr4ckenm3fortune on

      That was the whole goal. Then it gonna be: find your elderly…then children…next is you.

    44. saltedsavior on

      This has always been the inevitability when using in home surveillance attached to the internet.

    45. _Monosyllabic_ on

      So shocking. Can’t wait until the news breaks that all the cameras and mics installed inside our homes are being used as well.
